Adult football

The standings are really tight in the NFL adult flag football league at the Anna Maria Island Community Center, which should make for some exciting playoff action. With one more week remaining in the regular season, only one game separates first place from last place.

In the AFC, the Jaguars, who started the season with two consecutive losses, find themselves on top of the conference after defeating the quickly fading Bills 26-22. Quarterback Jason Sato threw for 150 yards and a pair of touchdowns to Scott Rudacille to lead the Jaguar attack. Rudacille finished with 96 receiving yards and added a pair of extra points. Dustin Swain added two touchdowns and finished with 99 yards on offense.

Scott Dell passed for 209 yards to lead the Bills, which also received 107 receiving yards and a touchdown from Brian Moorhead in the loss.

The Bucs won a third straight game, a 30-12 decision over the Giants behind 205 passing yards and two touchdowns from quarterback David Johnston. Scott Eason with 94 receiving yards and Shawn Kaleta with 61 receiving yards led the Bucs on offense. Robbie Bennett added an interception return for a touchdown to seal the victory for the Bucs.

Tyler Bekkerus passed for 218 yards and a pair of touchdowns to lead the Giants. One touchdown pass went to Jeremy Jackson, who finished with 86 receiving yards, while Emily King added the other touchdown for the Giants.

Kevin Austin, Robert Cornell and John Pace each threw one touchdown pass, while Mike Walter added a pair of touchdown receptions and an extra point to lead the Broncos past the Vikings 20-12. Brent Moss chipped in with a touchdown reception, while Shandi Austin added an extra point and 22 receiving yards in the victory.

The Vikings were led by Paul Kurtz’s 162 passing yards and a pair of touchdowns. Phelps Tracy was on the receiving end of one touchdown and finished with 67 receiving yards, while Jordan Pritchard hauled in the other Viking touchdown in the loss.

Speaking of football

Youth tackle football teams started up practices in preparation of the upcoming season at the Police Athletic League or PAL. The PAL Bears JV team is well represented with Islanders this season, including Brad Duffman, George Lardas, Keegan Murpy, Jacob Talucci, Andrew Zink and Seth Walter participating.

The team is practicing four nights a week at Bayshore High School under the watchful eyes of their coaches, adult flag football teammates Kevin Austin, Rob Cornell and Mike Walter.
